Answer to Question 1

Here is an example of a correct calculation:
Kyung-Soon, 38-year-old woman who weighs 115 pounds (52.3 kg), is 5 feet 4 inches (1.6 m) tall and has a low activity level (PA = 1.12)
EER = 354 - (6.91  38) + 1.12  (9.36  52.3 + 726  1.6)
= 354 - 262.6 + 1.12  (489.5 + 1161.6)
= 91.4 + 1.12  1651.1
= 1941 kcal
A reference individual requiring 2000 kcal would need 3 more kcalories per day than Kyung-Soon. A reference individual requiring 2500 kcal would need 29 more kcalories per day than Kyung-Soon.
